For a long time now, every meeting with another human being has been a collision. I feel too much, sense too much, am exhausted by the reverberations after even the simplest conversation.

“Step inside my cabin and hang your coat by
the door.
You smell of snowfall and hemlock boughs.
I just fed the stove and the logs are
whispering like radio static.
Soon, that white lace on your boots will
pool on the floorboards,
making them shine like polished stone.
Rest here as long as you like.
It's not trouble that our meeting place is
imaginary.
Many worthwhile things are.”

“When I fell to earth
I knew the way—through the soot, into the leaves,
It still took years. Upon landing, the ground
embraced me sadly, with the gentleness
of someone delivering tragic news to a child.”

“We need the poetic lens because
quantifying
the physical properties of iron isn't quite
the same
as weighing the significance of how the
iron in our blood
connects us to the planet beneath our feet,
to the heat of ancient stars.”

“Many things are made with love, with care,
with intention.
Some purchases make us consumers,
some make us a community.”
